The game needs improvement with the devs not being afraid of offending us. It's like they get to the edge and are almost there but political correctness keeps them from taking a leap of faith. In my opinion, Sims 4 should have taken where Sims 3 left us and improved upon the franchise instead of being more flash and pomp than something edgy and with substance.
I mostly game offline with card games like Magic and Vanguard, miniatures games like Warhammer 40k and Malifaux (my husband keeps me from falling for the lure of another Games Workshop hotness... *sigh*) and RPGs like D&D and Shadowrun. I play Sims games sometimes but I play Malifaux and Shadowrun much more and can go for weeks and even months because Sims 4 is lacking in so much. I don't know if that lacking is just another word for "boredom" but I am definitely disappointed with the franchise even though I love my vampires and spellcasters too.
